Revisit high-weightage topics for the JEE Advanced exam like Mechanics, Organic Chemistry, and Calculus on your JEE Main foundation. Focus on quality notes, key concepts, and formula sheets, instead of starting new topics. This ensures you can comfortably recall the material faster, and instills confidence before the exam.
2. Increase the emphasis on problem-solving techniques
Work through your previous 10–15 years’ worth of JEE Advanced papers and take timed mock tests every day. Focus on 50–70 quality problems every day to improve your speed and accuracy. A consistent approach to problems establishes exam temperament, and minimizes careless mistakes.
3. Take time to analyze your mistakes
After each mock test, maintain an error log for errors due to concepts, calculations, or time-related issues. Spend some time reviewing these areas, and then re-visit this topic the following revision session.The focused correction of the error will help you replace it with a strength in performance before the exam.
4. Craft a balanced approach to revising
When making your revision blocks for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, it is advisable to split them evenly. Book all your types of short sessions, then use active recall techniques in limited time frames such as flashcards or quick quizzes. Consistency and coverage of the revision process are only possible if you spare yourselves from burnout.
5. Improve your time managing skills
During your mock test, practice your process of attempting the easier questions first to gain early confidence. Use 1–2 minutes per question, and free time spent thinking about harder questions by marking them as deferred. The ability to manage your time efficiently could result in massive improvements in your total score.

Hi,
JEE Advanced me qualify karne ke liye JEE Main me kisi fixed percentage ki requirement nahi hoti. Percentile aur rank ke basis par cutoff decide hoti hai. JEE Advanced ke liye eligible hone ke liye aapko JEE Main ke Top 2,50,000 rank holders ke andar aane chahiye, sab category mila kar.
Har saal cutoff percentile thoda alag hota hai, par approximate range general (UR) ke liye hoti hai 90–92 percentile tak, EWS ke liye 78–80 percentile tak, OBC-NCL ke liye 73-75 percentile tak, SC ke liye 55-60 percentile tak aur ST ke liye 45-50 percentile tak.
 Iska matlab hai ki agar aap SC category se hai, to lagbhag 55 se 60 percentile JEE Main me lana par aap JEE Advanced ke liye qualify kar sakte hai.
 
 
 Hope it helps!!!

Hello,
Yes, you can start now and prepare for the January attempt of JEE Main . It will be challenging, but with focus and proper planning, it is possible.
Here’s what you can do:
Make a study plan : Divide topics into daily and weekly targets. Focus more on important and high-weightage topics.
Start with basics : Make sure your concepts in Physics, Chemistry, and Math are clear.
Practice regularly : Solve previous year papers and mock tests to understand the exam pattern.
Revise often : Keep revising formulas, important concepts, and tricky problems.
Stay consistent : Even small daily progress is better than irregular study.
If you stay dedicated and follow a strict plan, you can be ready for January.
Hope it helps !
Hello,
Sorry, but JoSAA does not accept marks from two different boards for the same qualification during counselling. However, you can use your NIOS marks to meet the JEE Main/Advanced eligibility criteria if they are better than your CBSE marks. You can use your NIOS marks for the eligibility check, but when presenting your documents, you may be required to present both marksheets and the one with the higher marks for each subject will be considered.
I hope it will clear your query!!
Hello Hitesh
A state EWS certificate is usually not valid for JEE Advanced or JoSAA counselling.
You’ll need an EWS certificate in the central government format, as required by IITs.
Even if issued by your local authority, it must clearly mention it’s as per Govt. of India norms.
You can visit your tahsildar/revenue office and request it in the “central format for JEE.”
Make sure the issue date is after April 1, 2025, for it to be valid in 2026 counselling.
You don’t need it at the time of JEE Main, only during Advanced registration and JoSAA.
You still have enough time to get it updated, so no stress, just don’t delay it too long.
